Widening the Genetic Base of Indian Barley Through the Use of Exotics
The genetic base of improved varieties is becoming increasingly narrow due to the commonness of one or more parents in their ancestry. Thus, improved varieties may become vulnerable to the diseases, insect-pests and other ...
Incidence of blast in exotic fingermillet germplasm grown in post-entry quarantine isolation area
The National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) has been functioning as a nodal organization for introduction and exchange of plant genetic resources of varied agri-horticultural crops for research purposes. The ...
Evaluation for Fe, zn and beta-glucan content, malting quality and starw quality with NIR and traditional means
Grain samples (more than 450 from high input program) were screened for hectoliter weight and the promising 73 lines were selected for micro malting analysis. Ten new barley genotypes with very good malting quality have ...
Barley for Africa and Asia - Multi-purpose barley production technologies for food, feed and fodder in the dry regions of Africa & Asia (Barley for Africa & Asia)
The decentralization budget to ICARDA provided under Dryland Cereals has been effectively utilized for establishing the State of Art malting quality laboratory at ICARDA Rabat, Morocco. This will provide an opportunity to ...

Barley: Global challenges and perspectives under non-tropical dry areas
The International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA) is one of the 15 CGIAR centers and has a global mandate for barley improvement, specifically for more than 16 million ha of barley grown in ...
Genetic and nutritional profiling of finger millet germplasm collection in ESA
Total 400 diverse fingermillet lines were planted for DNA extraction in poly house for DNA extraction at ICRAF-Nairobi. These lines have been characterized at the ICRISAT field research station at Kiboko, Kenya for nutritional ...
The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Association analysis of low-phosphorus tolerance in West African pearl millet using DArT markers
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is a food security crop in the harshest agricultural regions of the world. While low soil phosphorus (P) availability is a big constraint on its production, especially in West ...
